Connecting Creativity with Commerce: a Conversation with Industrial Designer Stuart Karten

A.N.T. Gallery, created by Venice-based furniture, product and interior designer Ilan Dei as a forum for discourse between art, nature and technology, announced "Connecting Creativity and Commerce," presented by award-winning industrial designer Stuart Karten, founder and principal of Stuart Karten Design.

As a product designer giving form to objects from medical devices to hard drives and kitchen tongs, Karten blends art and technology to develop products that are simple to use, yet capture users' imaginations.

This process of "connecting creativity and commerce" involves getting into people's minds and finding hot points that get them excited.

Using case studies from his work, Karten will share his strategies for customer-driven product design.

The event is free and open to the public, RSVP info at ilandeistudio.com
